1
pound / square inch to
pound-force / square inch
step by step.
Calculation Breakdown
Set up the equation
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{pound}{square \text{ } inch}\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(\dfrac{pound-force}{square \text{ } inch}\right)\)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit \(\left(pascal\right)\)
\(\text{Left side: 1.0 } \left(\dfrac{pound}{square \text{ } inch}\right) = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{-4}}\left(pascal\right)} = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{-4}}\left(Pa\right)}\)
\(\text{Right side: 1.0 } \left(\dfrac{pound-force}{square \text{ } inch}\right) = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{-4}}\left(pascal\right)} = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{-4}}\left(Pa\right)}\)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{pound}{square \text{ } inch}\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(\dfrac{pound-force}{square \text{ } inch}\right)\)
\(\text{Insert known values } =>\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{-4}}} \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(pascal\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{-4}}}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(pascal\right)}\)
\(\text{Or}\)
\(1.0 \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{-4}}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(Pa\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{-4}}} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(Pa\right)}\)
\(\text{Cancel SI units}\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{-4}}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \cancel{\left(Pa\right)}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{-4}}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \cancel{\left(Pa\right)}}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(\dfrac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{-4}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times \dfrac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{-4}}\)
Cancel factors on both sides
\(\text{Cancel factors}\)
\(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{4.4482216152605}}}{{\color{rgb(99,194,222)} \cancel{6.4516}} \times {\color{rgb(166,218,227)} \cancel{10^{-4}}}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times \dfrac{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{4.4482216152605}}}{{\color{rgb(99,194,222)} \cancel{6.4516}} \times {\color{rgb(166,218,227)} \cancel{10^{-4}}}}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\(1.0 = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
Switch sides
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = 1.0\)
Solve \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = 1\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.0\left(\dfrac{pound}{square \text{ } inch}\right) = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} 1}\left(\dfrac{pound-force}{square \text{ } inch}\right)\)
